Our conservatories, orangeries and home extensions are individually designed for each and every homeowner, but the buying process remains streamlined and efficient no matter how niche the project; from the initial quote to us taking care of any planning permissions, to our aftercare services. Deciding to get a new conservatory is a large decision that may prompt many questions for homeowners, which is why we outline our simple buying process, so you know what to expect throughout the journey.

Planning permissions are advised if necessary

If permissions are needed for your home extension, our technical department will let you know. With Fineline, you won’t have to worry about gaining approval as we take full care of this, whether it be permitted development, prior approval or full planning building regulations. Once approved, we’ll then update you again. (Up to 2-3 days if no planning. Up to 10 weeks if planning required with no regulations. Up to 13 weeks if planning required with regulations.)

Pre-site check

After any planning permission approvals are confirmed, your designated project manager will contact you to arrange a pre-site check to finalise the details for the installation. This is to ensure that the installation day is as efficient as possible. (1-2 days)

Installation day!

A team of our professional conservatory installers will come to your property at the agreed time to begin the project. With extensive experience behind them, you can be sure it won’t disrupt you or your neighbours. You’ll be able to ask them about maintenance tips and the functionality of the features of your new conservatory.

Follow-up work

In a very small number of cases, remedial work may be needed. We will order any new parts that are required and organise a date to complete the work. (On receipt of parts or 1-2 days if no parts needed).
